“57% of voters would replace the entire Congress if given the chance…”
Wow. Bad news for the Entire Congress, since this huge Throw-the-bums-Out majority will soon be Given the Chance, to replace the whole House and a third of the Senate, starting with the Nomination processes (convention, primary, new-party-&-independent petitions, etc.) less than a year from now.
